Forest heath oasis

Even with the forest as arid as it is, and it is, even when the streams have stopped flowing, which they have, you can still find watery oasis if you know where to look. Walking with a hound, particularly a thick coated one, you build up a mental map of watering points, here in the forest it's usually the springs that emerge in the boggy hollows; if I'm out in a rural setting, such Purbeck or Cranborne, it's knowing where all the water troughs are.
